Public Accounts and Estimates Committee chair Martin Pakula told the hearing the government was failing to deliver transparency promised under the deal, while money schools would get anyway from student enrolment growth and capital programs was being wrongly counted as new.

“You are pretending to honour the agreement but you’re not,” Mr Pakula said.

But Mr Dixon told the hearing the government was fulfilling its end of the agreement with the remainder of Gonski cash to flow as promised.

Money came from the one funding “bucket” and allocated to schools who were best placed to decide where it should be spent.

“The fact we have put more money into education is patently obvious, “ Mr Dixon said.

Victoria would continue to push for the Commonwealth to honour its promised $6.8 billion extra in schools cash over six years given the new Federal Government had only committed to four years so far, he said.

An $8.5 million Budget windfall for Frankston High School was brought into question given it was in a marginal seat, but Mr Dixon said the decision had nothing to do with politics and school building spending actually favoured Labor-held seats.
